(3) K-3 In this follow-up to Backbeard and the Birthday Suit, the Pirate Council kicks the big guy out of their club for looking "like a doofus" in his vaudevillian attire. Backbeard's search for a new job yields comic moments and a great twist. The amusing mixed-media art is comfortably cluttered with many different colors and patterns.
